So on Sunday one of my favourite days of the year came around.. my birthday! This year was the year of turning the big 2 3, eeeek! I love birthdays.. whether it be mine or a friend/family members as it's a great excuse to spoil those we love & spend time together to celebrate.
I'm definitely one of those birth-week people (you know, those people who stretch their birthday celebrations over the period of a week instead of the usual day or two) as I love any excuse to have as much fun as possible. So - keeping with this tradition - this years celebrations included a few lunches, drinks with my work friends, my family coming up on the day itself for lunch and a big catch up, and then next Saturday a few friends & my boyfriend are heading to a local bar for a couple (well.. probably a fair few) cocktails.
I'm the type of person who loves to have a nose on Youtube/blogs to see what people got for their birthdays. Either purely for the sake of being nosey - or for a little inspiration for a gift for an upcoming birthday (or myself...). So as I was very lucky and spoilt this year - so I decided to put together a birthday haul post.
1. Faux Snakeskin Textured Handbag - New Look [x]
2. Happy Birthday Chocolates - Hotel Chocolat [x]
3. Sanctuary Giftset - Boots [x]
(unfortunately I can't find the exact set so I've linked to a similar one)
4. Mini Champagne - Lanson [x]
5. Davidoff Cool Water Perfume - The Perfume Shop [x]
6. Gone Girl Book - Waterstones [x]
7. The Fault In Our Stars DVD - Tesco [x]
8. Black Paisley Pattern Crop Top - New Look [x]
9. Cinderella Mug - The Disney Shop [x]
10. Pink Flower Necklace - New Look [x]
In addition to this I was also given gift vouchers for New Look, River Island, Top Shop/Dorothy Perkins/Miss Selfridge (you can use each voucher at any of these shops - handy!) Mac and Laurence John (a hair dressers back home which I love to go to) - along with a bag full of sweets/chocolate from Ollie as a "work survival kit" - so I can have something sweet as a pick me up in the office, which I thought was a lovely thought!
As I said I was incredibly spoilt this year by my family, friends, colleagues and boyfriend & I didn't expect anywhere near as much - it really did make me feel very loved.
I've linked each item above (bar the gift vouchers as these are available by popping into the shop) in-case you fancied treating yourself or someone close to you.. just click on the little x to be directed to the item that takes your fancy.
So.. here's to being 23!
This is also my first haul post - so I'd love any feedback or tips!
